    OT: Vaccine: 2nd Dose

    the efficacy rates are based on people coming down with symptomatic covid. So just as there’s no data on how many people had asymptomatic covid with the vaccine there’s no data on the numbers of people that had asymptomatic covid with the placebo. Although someone could expect that it would be...

    OT: NEW EVERYTHING / ANYTHING COVID-19 THREAD PART II

    the reason is that some people in the medical profession are not particularly knowledgeable. Not all doctors are created equal there’s good doctors and bad doctors. Sounds like your sister in law has a bad one.

    OT: NEW EVERYTHING / ANYTHING COVID-19 THREAD

    there’s over 120 people working here it’s not a tiny operation. It’s not hard science but that would be 95% asymptomatic infections. There’s no social distancing. There’s been cases but if masks didn’t work then every person at my company would’ve had it.

    OT: NEW EVERYTHING / ANYTHING COVID-19 THREAD

    The masks work. I work for a essential manufacturer and we’ve been working in person full capacity since day 1 of covid. Very limited social distancing. Universal masking. People have had covid and there’s been limited spread. Probably a couple instances. If they didn’t work everyone...

    OT: NJ schools can start the year virtually

    1 week ago Fauci said that schools can reopen with safeguards in areas that are not hot spots. I doubt NJ classifies as a hot spot. People use southern states reopening schools with major outbreaks occuring statewide as evidence that schools shouldn’t be open. If I lived in Georgia or Texas I...

    OT: NJ schools can start the year virtually

    My kids have been in daycare in NJ for nearly 2 months. Some daycares have been open the entire time. Its quite obvious that young children are less contagious. I’ve been going to work as an essential employee at a manufacturing company masked up and interacting with other adult employees...

    OT: UFOs

    Humanity would be united for about a half a day before it was completely wiped from existence. Any species technologically advanced enough to cross the unfathomable distances of interstellar space would annihilate us at will. Aliens would have no reason use us as slaves.

    OT: Can anyone who has had coronavirus....

    Certainly a lot of people have had it that never got a positive test but I wouldn’t assume you’ve had it unless you actually got a confirmed test result. There’s lots of other viruses around. If you don’t know for sure it’s best to assume you did not have it so that you don’t take unnecessary...

    OT: Weather impact on Coronavirus

    Thailand has had a tiny fraction of the cases and deaths compared to Italy despite having millions of Chinese tourists there from early January, multiple times more than Northern Italy. Bangkok has about twice the population density of Milan. It’s not a question of whether it spreads in warm...

    OT: Weather impact on Coronavirus

    Warm humid weather is likely to help some. How much is up for debate. The largest outbreaks have occurred in temperate climates. areas with warmer weather have had less cases despite some having weaker public health infrastructure and more densely packed population. This obviously does not...

    OT: First US death due to Coronavirus

    Considering the amount of travelers from Italy showing up in other countries with the virus the number of Italian infections is far larger than the reported numbers. South Korea might give a more accurate estimate of the death rate considering they’ve tested almost 70,000 people and have a...

    OT: a good friend is STUCK IN CHINA

    If that many people in the US have it then we really shouldn’t worry about it at all. It’d be far less dangerous than the flu except in very rare occasions.

    OT: a good friend is STUCK IN CHINA

    Maybe, we’ll see. Interesting that Southeast/South Asia hasn’t seen an explosion of cases considering the huge numbers of Chinese there. Maybe they are hiding it but the health system should be overloaded by now considering how early it arrived in that region. All the outbreaks have occurred...

    OT: a good friend is STUCK IN CHINA

    If hundreds of people are walking around the US asymptomatically with this virus or a million people in China have it asymptomatically then the fatality rate is not much worse than the common flu. It’s only scary if the numbers of confirmed infections are relatively accurate. It can’t be both...
